  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> The preparation and spectroscopic data of the new ternary amide LiAl(NHCH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> are reported. The structure of the title compound has been determined from X-ray powder diffraction data (tetragonal, 14<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>, a = 14.000(4) Å, c = 9.275(2) Å, 210 reflections, R = 3.75%, weighted R = 5.10%). Both the lithium and the aluminium atoms are coordinated tetrahedrally by nitrogen atoms. Edge-sharing pairs of lithium centered and aluminium centered tetrahedra are connected to each other in helical chains forming a 3D-framework via the remaining vertices. A comparison of the projection of the crystal structure of LiAl(NHCH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> along the c-axis to those of cristobalite and of hollandite, (Ba,K)<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> (Mn,Fe)<jats:sub>8</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>16</jats:sub>, reveals similarities with respect to both the connectivity and the topology of ring structures.</jats:p>
